==The Select Trick== | ==The Select Trick== | ||
When fighting a boss, you can score multiple hits with the same shot by pausing the game after the first "hit". After the boss has stopped flashing, quickly hit select to unpause the game and then again to pause it again. You will score an additional hit. Keep hitting select until the boss is defeated. You can beat many bosses with one shot this way. | When fighting a boss, you can score multiple hits with the same shot by pausing the game after the first "hit".

You can beat many bosses with one shot this way. A good weapon for this is the Thunder Beam. Even the regular Mega Buster can exploit this, but you must be very precise. | ||
A less notable, but still occasionally useful, consequence of this is that when you press Select when Mega Man is hit, it will reduce the brief "knockback" period. | A less notable, but still occasionally useful, consequence of this is that when you press Select when Mega Man is hit, it will reduce the brief "knockback" period. | ||

=== | === Vertical screen Glitch === | ||
In Cut Man's stage, at the part with the first Flying Shell, go to the eastmost part of the screen, and press the up button as if you are climbing a ladder. Then you appear at the bottom of the screen. It is a short shortcut. | |||
There is a similar "shortcut" in Wily Fortress 1, when going down a vertical chamber. You can jump up and grab an invisible ladder, making you appear at the bottom. Then you can climb down it, skipping the screen. | |||
